Blueberry And Lime Dessert (Sainsbury’s) [By @Cinabar]

How pretty are these new puddings from Sainsbury’s? I just love the fact that from the side you can see the blueberries floating in the jelly and the nice layers. I spotted them on the shelf and just had to get them.The very top layer of this pudding is pink in colour, and is an opaque blueberry jelly. It is only a thin section, but it has a sweet berry flavour, with a hint of a floral twist from the blueberries. The next layer is the clear jelly, and this forms the main part of the dessert. It has a zesty lime flavour that is fresh and tasty. There are some fresh blueberries floating in the jelly too, with obviously a very natural taste! One of the ones in mine was quite sharp, but the jelly balanced it out. The citrus taste goes surprisingly well with the blueberries, and makes a good fruity medley. I can’t remember having seen lime and blueberry combined together before, but the zesty taste of lime with the fragrant blueberries is a really good fruit match. I couldn’t help but think it would make a lovely combination for a summer drink too.These desserts are perfect for a light summer pudding with their lovely fresh and fruity flavours. They are sweet and easy to eat, and I love the look of the jelly too. These would be more refreshing on a hot (or muggy) evening than a hot pudding with custar, and it is nice to see Sainsbury’s bringing out some lighter options.
